Feb 1 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs said it expects U.S. banks to incur mark-to-market losses of $60 billion in 2008 on commercial real estate and exotic mortgage loans, that represent the most significant risk to earnings and capital.

Credit concerns should drive relative performance in financials, despite recent rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the brokerage said.
